The document discusses how news organizations can improve their coverage by making it more conversational and inclusive of community voices. It suggests that journalists should focus on what is important to their community, make it easy for the community to act on information provided, and reach those who need it most rather than just those already engaged. The document advocates for a more social and mutual approach where community members can both consume and produce content and feel their voices are heard. It questions whether current coverage and engagement strategies successfully include target audiences and community perspectives.

The how's and why's of social media for editorsJoy Mayer
This document discusses strategies for using social media in journalism. It suggests that social media is a mindset of engaging in consumption, production, and sharing, rather than just a set of platforms. It then provides five benefits of social media for a newsroom: 1) achieving actual collaboration and conversation; 2) celebrating community together; 3) sharing iterative news; 4) finding people who care about your news; and 5) reaching the readers you want through social media, as that is where many potential readers spend their time. It raises questions about determining which platforms to focus on, what to share on each, how to handle criticism, whether to respond to comments, who should interact on social media, and how to find time for social
#PINCamp13, What does news as a conversation really mean?Joy Mayer
This document discusses making news media more interactive and inclusive of audience participation. It questions whether newsrooms are genuinely prepared to invite feedback from audiences and engage in two-way conversations, or if they only want to control the agenda and message. The document advocates for continual, specific, and genuine invitations for audience input and shared control over agenda-setting between newsrooms and audiences. However, it notes newsrooms may not be willing to follow up or be prepared to handle feedback that does not align with their goals.
Shareology and Social Media in Academia #SussexTELSue Beckingham
This document discusses sharing and social media in academia. It begins by quoting Ivan Illich who said education should empower all who want to share what they know and all who want to learn. It discusses how traditionally students learned alone but now collaboration and sharing are important for innovation. It says schools need to prepare students for a global world where issues transcend borders. Andreas Schleicher is quoted saying education used to be about knowledge but now it's about skills to navigate an uncertain world. The document discusses what people share online like personal photos and why like to feel connected. It covers leading social networks and how quickly some grew. It discusses motivations for sharing like managing information, relationships and self-fulfillment. In the end it

Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create various forms of media messages. It helps people understand how media can influence society and develops important critical thinking skills. About half of people share content on social media to inform others or enrich their social connections, but over two-thirds also share to project a certain image of themselves or define who they are publicly. Many shared links are never actually opened. To improve media literacy, people should think carefully about what they post and share online and do so intentionally rather than just liking or commenting without purpose.
This document summarizes a workshop on taking next steps with the MILA (Media and Information Literacy Alliance) Framework. It provides context on information literacy and MILA's purpose, vision, and mission. Participants engaged in activities to discuss how information literacy manifests in their contexts, how they currently teach key concepts, and ideas for new learning activities. The workshop aimed to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing around empowering people with media and information literacy.
Alternative Media for Social Change in Africa: Myths and realitiesInformation for Change
This document discusses alternative media for social change in Africa. It argues that new technologies alone will not drive progressive change, as social change depends on ordinary people exerting authority over their experiences. While technologies could enable positive change, they often exacerbate existing social inequalities without conscious effort. The organization Fahamu was established to develop media for social change in Africa using new technologies, but found limitations in internet access that led them to produce printed learning materials on CD-ROM instead of online. Surveys showed that while organizations had internet connections, slow speeds and high costs limited actual web usage.
Draft slide deck by Nancy Shute detailing how journalists are using social media, and some thoughts on how journalists are using Web 2.0 tools to create new publishing platforms.
This document provides an overview of social media and how to effectively engage through a social science approach. It discusses:
1) Social media is about social interaction, not just technology. Understanding social behaviors and cultures is key.
2) To effectively engage, companies should observe social conversations to understand customer interests before participating.
3) Immersing in communities involves respectful participation without overt marketing. The goal is contributing value to conversations to build relationships.
The document summarizes key takeaways from the #Newsroom14 conference. It discusses countering culture blocking in newsrooms, collaborating cross-culturally to solve problems, using digital tools, changing newsroom structures, cultivating civil online conversations, addressing digital ethical issues like user-generated content, and navigating the challenges of audience engagement and online misogyny. Recommendations include training, community guidelines, dedicated moderation resources, and employing more senior women moderators.
Indiana Jones and the Adventures of the Media ArtsGus Lowrie
This document discusses media arts and various forms of media. It begins by introducing the narrator, Indy, and their interest in teaching media arts despite it not being their primary field of archeology. It then provides definitions of media arts, media, and mass media from education standards. The document goes on to discuss "old" print media versus "new" electronic and social media. It considers how new forms of media could be incorporated into classrooms but notes challenges around resources and teaching skills. Finally, it outlines eight key concepts of media literacy that are important for students to understand, such as the constructed nature of media messages and the commercial and ideological influences on media content and form.
This document discusses combating hate speech on the internet. It covers four main topics:
1) The concept of hate speech and how it is a social construct dependent on context.
2) Social media platforms and their role in disseminating content, including YouTube's recommender algorithms that may radicalize users and Twitter's trending topics.
3) The hybrid media environment where social media is integrated with traditional news production and dissemination, creating both opportunities and challenges.
4) The current populist political moment in Europe and the need for counter-narratives to challenge dominant stories that fuel resentment and claims of victimhood.
12) Meaning, Representation & Values pt. 2.pptxJamesDixon10403
The document discusses how media represent the world and influence audience perceptions. It explains that media are a primary source for how people see the world and tend to promote broadly similar views that establish a "normal" worldview. While media are not the only influence, they generally reinforce the values of dominant white, patriarchal, capitalist culture through their content. To gain support from minority groups, media must provide some pleasure but ultimately resolve social issues they depict in a way that does not disrupt the status quo or dominant ideology. Consideration is given to the limitations of viewing media as only promoting a single dominant ideology and the potential for media to challenge norms and stereotypes.
Living and loving God in the 21st century: Digital media and workMary Hess
This document provides an outline for a presentation on living and loving God in the 21st century amid digital media. It discusses how digital tools are changing contexts and epistemology. It addresses challenges like individualism, commercialization, and self-enclosed spaces. It advocates approaching digital media with constructivist and connectivist pedagogies that foster openness, curiosity, and relationally. The presentation aims to explore implications for work, sharing authentic witness, and embedding a relational sphere of knowing in communities and daily work.
This document discusses theories around media audiences and reception from various scholars. [1] It outlines Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding theory which proposes that the meanings of media messages can be interpreted differently by audiences than intended. [2] It also discusses the concept of dominant, negotiated, and oppositional codes of reading media texts. [3] Finally, it considers debates around whether new media has made the media landscape more democratic by allowing greater audience participation and engagement.
Design vs. Doubt: Design Thinking + Science CommunicationJennifer Briselli
Design thinking and human-centered design approaches may help address challenges with science communication and public perceptions of scientific issues. Framing information in an empathetic and identity-affirming manner for different cultural groups could make the information less threatening or polarizing. A study found that priming participants with a story aligned with their cultural values led them to be more open to information about climate change presented later, whereas a misaligned story increased polarization. Effective communication requires understanding cultural cognition and how people form perceptions based on their social identities and values.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

11. “Here’s something four-year-olds know: a screen
without a mouse is missing something. Here’s
something else they know: media that’s targeted at
you but doesn’t include you may not be worth
sitting still for. … They will just assume that media
includes the possibilities of consuming, producing,
and sharing side by side, and that those
possibilities are open to everyone. How else would
you do it?”
— Clay Shirky, Cognitive Surplus
So excited about the work you’re doing. Such an opportunity to assess why you’re here, what people value about what you do and what’s most important to you. Lots of newsrooms don’t take the time to do it. “We will take these elements into account and, through our coverage, both describe the ongoing process of St. Louis’ reinvention and engage with it. We will use our skills as a news and information organization to illuminate, investigate, challenge and celebrate how this reinvention defines what it means to be a St. Louisan.’’
As we talk about an audience-focused and inclusive approach to news, it can be useful to talk about what we value, and what we’re trying to achieve. A lot of the kind of participatory journalism I do is rooted in some values that many of us share.
Mission-driven. Information on the public’s behalf. Public invests in us to have an impact. To move the needle on public issues. To be of service. We’re not just about producing a great text or radio project. We’re about, at the core, helping communities.From Linda Lockhart, on obesity project:We see it as our role to unearth insights, spread understanding and lay the groundwork for progress. We want St. Louisans to enjoy better health, and we hope Fit City can help. Along the way, we will report what we learn, to help everyone understand what’s at stake for the entire region and what might be done.
Thiscultural shift is not just true in journalism. True in medicine. Museums. Golf refereeing. Restaurants. No use pretending it’s not happening.
If you’re social, what does that mean? Ripping a page out of a newspaper is a social act.Let’s talk about interactions. How do people interact with their media?It’s a mindset, not a platform.Social,interactive news.Not just effective for happy situations or emotions. Angry. Fired up. Worried. Curious.
Diagram from Meg Pickard describes the attitude at the core of the Guardian’s invitations.This is at the core of how my team and I now approach journalism.Move beyond the notion that no one gets to know what we’re doing until we’re done, and that what happens after we go live isn’t our concern.
How are we inviting our audience to interact with us, and with our content? To consume our content in ways that are helpful and natural? To share their perspective or expertise? This requires a real shift in perspective. From a series of “stories” to an ongoing conversation. It sure doesn’t apply to everything we do. But it can apply to topics or stories that have a life beyond the one-off or day turn.However, what that looks like depends on your newsroom, your priorities, and your goals for your relationship with your community.
What that looks like with a pretend story. This is an ad created by The Guardian to explain what they call “open journalism.”The video is embedded in the powerpoint – if you download, bring that movie file with you. It’s also online here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW_dBQPAeDY
More diffused. Less likely to see or hear any one story from any one outlet.Majority of visits don’t start on home page.Consuming many fewer stories per week than before.
Some links are to comments. Some are to blogs. Some are to stories. Some are to chats. Some are to aggregations of other responses. Some go even further …Let’s look at some specific examples of invitations.
What invitations does the community respond to? What’s the impact?At Chicago Public Media, Breeze Richardson tracks the number of call-in and online content sharing opportunities, and the number of comments as a ratio of pages that take comments. That fits with their strategic goals. You have to know what you’re trying to achieve. Sourcing?
As we look at examples, ask these questions. Would it work for you? What do you have to gain or lose?
Ask for help covering breaking news. Let’s pause to talk about verification, and what can go wrong. Use sources the same way you would other unverified information. Look for red flags. Double check. Be transparent with readers about what you’re verifying and how.Recognize that social sources don’t represent a kind of content, just a platform. Twitter doesn’t get it wrong; people get it wrong. It just speeds up the pace and volume of conversation. How do you know that people are who they say they are? Wouldn’t trust it over the phone. Verify.
Asking for help tracking down a source for a sports blog at The Oklahoman. What is it about blogs that make us feel like we can write conversationally? And how can we incorporate more of that casual tone into how we talk about news?
Social media also feels comfortable. This weekly Missouri newspaper first said what they’d heard and asked people to share if they’d heard it too. They got 109 comments. They checked back in (bottom right update) with what they knew and didn’t know three hours later, while still waiting to hear back from official sources.our goal has always been to find out who knows what and has what information. There are so many easy, natural ways to do it now.
How often, and how specifically, do we ask readers to tell us what they want to know? What if we were more structured to answer existing questions?
What should we have written?Who else should we interview?Can we contact you in the future about related stories?Very PIN-esque. Google forms work too, if you want option for anonymity.
Ask for help covering breaking news. What do you see where you are?
An eight-minute video of the history of Columbia’s oldest building, targeted to be torn down. This guy’s grandmother lived there when it was a girls school.
When is the conversation the point, and when is it a means to a better story?
What do we share about ourselves? How does being more personal enhance credibility?Learn about his family history with politics, and that he’s both an insider and a journalist. In another case, we learn about a reporter’s family background in science, and how it fuels her passion for science journalism.How accessible are we? What if we shared what we’re working on, in addition to how to contact us?
Identifying and reaching specific audiencesWhat do you hope will happen as a result of your story or project? I see the word “impact” a lot in your content plan. Showing the impact. What action is then possible?Who are you hoping to reach? And if you want conversation, are you inviting it, or just hoping it will happen?The “who do you want to reach” often starts with “the whole community.” But work your way down the funnel and get more and more specific.
On air, online and in person – programming around problem solving issues like hunger. Program airs. Then have simultaneous live chats and in-person discussion forum to talk about next steps.
WYSO in Ohio. Telling the story of economic turmoil and reinvention. Beautiful multimedia experience. Prominent invitation to share.
What + How + WhyWHAT is this site? REINVENTION STORIES is an experiment in bringing real life documentary stories into the potential of an interactive environment. This includes a short movie. Sit back and watch it if you want, or choose your own path through. You can add your own story. You can answer questions we ask. Or eventually you can see dozens of stories, of people, places and events in our city. Can an evolving web site become a living, breathing chronicle of one city’s struggle and resurgence? Let’s find out.
Speaking of community, ProPublica is creating them, not just joining them. For meaningful crowdsourcing and continued conversation.There are FB groups locally, to focus on specific ideologies, priorities, interests, etc. If they meet in person, we feel obligated to listen. Why not online?Seattle Times doing it with people who graduated from high school in a certain year, for an economic impact story.Sometimes, the communities aren’t this organized. It’s harder to find or build the networks. It’s a kind of shoe leather reporting – finding the online conversations and online sources. Andy Carvin.
Future audience. When we needed to reach teens, we found a FB group of 400 teens who’d convened specifically to talk about what we were covering. They shared our stories. They let a few of us into their group. They’re planning to submit a story for From Readers. They feel heard and connected. This is where they talk. The new shoe leather reporting – find the community.

Took a couple of hours to summarize the key points and get it edited. The reporter can do it. Or a copy editor. Took this to city council meeting. Have also done it with public housing and other meetings, or to reach specific audiences, like young parents.We’ve also done this with questionnaires when we attend meetings, asking people what they want to know from candidates or what they wish we would cover.Fight the spread of misinformation – even with people who don’t come to you as a source. Inform the conversation.
Introduce crime story. Journalistic filter. Document who’s out and about.
Special NPR app – postcards to the president.
When should the journalist get out of the way? When does it seem more authentic to provide the platform, then step back?I’m avoiding showing examples that take fancy technology. This can be done with a flickr or facebook album, and an embedded slideshow on a site.
Highlight the expertise of the community with a crowdsourced project. ArtHounds has become a major brand for MPR. Journalist prompts with questions but edits himself out. Talk for 10-30 minutes. 90 seconds go on air weekly for each of three subjects. After one month of recruiting, it’s been self-sustaining for four years. OPB has considered doing it for outdoors.
